Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in financial technology, covering payment systems, digital banking platforms, financial data analysis, regulatory technology and an optional co-op work term, with applied practice running through the programme.
Sheridan records fintech under a business analytics code, which places it inside the eligible sectors unlike the general business certificates here.
Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology is taught at Sheridan College Hazel McCallion campus in Mississauga, a public Ontario college. The financial technology certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Sheridan records the financial technology certificate under CIP 30.7104 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 30.7104 against the current eligible list before paying for the financial technology certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the financial technology certificate can support a study permit.
Admission to Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology requires a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the financial technology certificate is recorded at CAD 17,800. Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the financial technology certificate. The financial technology certificate lists four entry windows across September and January, the earliest in January 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the financial technology certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
